On June 19, PPro’s Princeton chapter sponsored a conversation with the USA’s first Muslim American woman mayor, Dr. Sadaf Jaffer, Princeton post-doc and Mayor of Montgomery Township. Dr. Jaffer does research in Islamic Feminist studies, and has sort of become her own research topic, as she is the first Muslim American woman to hold the office of mayor in the United States.
